Shoddy PresentsI have an aunt who for many years would send me the same christmas present every year. A Biro. Each year I wrote inevitable "Thankyou so much for the Biro. I am using it to write this letter" letter, each year a new one arrived.
Tell us all about the rubbish that has been foisted upon you over the years.

My mother, bless herIs notorious for giving out the crappiest presents possible. I'll give you the rundown of the last 5 christmases:
1999: My brother and I receive identical manicure sets. Completely identical. After 5 minutes we couldn't remember whose was whose, nor did we care. I haven't had fingernails since she stopped painting that shit on them at nights.
2000: My brother and I receive identical boot polish kits. re-read above paragraph. I don't buy leather shoes.
2001: Post-it notes. Just the normal, yellow ones. 'nuff said.
2002: She gave us both an IOU for $75, then attempted suicide. Great christmas.
2003: A case of beer. I was actually quite happy with this one.
2004: She's going on a holiday! Thanks Mum, fantastic present!
